Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). This will
allow the heater and defroster to work much better,
reducing the chance of fogging the inside of
your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather,
turn the
blower fan to
“5” for a few moments before driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and
moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the area around the base
of the center
instrument panel console and the air path under the
front seats clear
of objects. This helps air to circulate
throughout your vehicle.
In cold weather, operating the system in the
OUTSIDE
AIR mode will improve the time it takes
to warm the vehicle.

SCV Your system has a feature called
Speed-Compensated-Volume (SCV). With
SCV, your
audio system adjusts automatically to make
up for road
and wind noise as you drive. Set the volume at the
desired level. Move the control ring behind the upper
knob to the right to adjust the SCV. Then, as you drive,
SCV automatically increases the volume,
as necessary,
to overcome noise at any particular speed. The volume
level should always sound the same to you as
you drive.
If you don’t want to use SCV,
turn the control all the
way down. Each notch on the control ring allows for
more volume compensation at faster vehicle speeds.
